If you work with serial numbers and you don't know the number until you receive the goods, we recommend using purchase orders to quickly create the different serial numbers once you receive the shipment. Find out how to manage your stock using purchase orders for products with serial numbers or lots in this article.

By archiving serial numbers, you get to omit numbers that have already been sold to quickly find and add only available ones to your orders. Besides, this allows you to show your customers specifically those products with serial numbers in use from your Holded Catalog.

1. Select the product on which you want to archive serial numbers
2. Click on Manage serial numbers
3. In the pop-up window, use the toggle in the Status column to archive one or more serial numbers

If you need to view the archived numbers again, simply click on the Show archived option at the bottom of the pop-up window.
